FOOD FOR THOUGHT: The NBL goes into recess for the FIBA World Cup qualifying window this week, and while the clubs take a chance to breathe, regroup and return to the pine, how many of our elite referees will be rostered for WNBL matches?

ADELAIDE Basketball’s decision to go public today in its “search for investors” while its WNBL MAC Lightning team was fighting out a thriller against Melbourne in Melbourne tells you everything you need to know.

HONESTLY. What can you say about that? Sadly, the focus from Round 7 of the NBL will not be on more spectacular and out-of-your-seat action but on officials who made farces of several games and impacted the result of a few, too.
